She's some kind of restless tonight. Can't seem to get comfortable. More diarrhea in the box. Hardly ate any wet food, which she adores, and has nibbled a little at the dry. Licking herself a lot. No panting or searching for a spot yet or anything resembling contractions, but I think we're getting very close.

Now I'm nervous about the birthing process. Is there anything I should look out for? Anything that could go wrong with a kitten? we've got some scissors, terry cloth and paper towels, soft micro-fibre towels to dry the kittens if necessary, a flashlight in case she doesn't like the overhead on. Alcohol, cotton balls and the like a short step away from the birthing room. There's a heating pad in the closet outside, again if necessary.

Any advice at this point is ever so much welcome.
